Melvin Bolton's writing skills have long been recognized but never before has he combined fact, fiction and prediction to such memorable effect. The story is set in the near future. Organized crime has capitalized on growing social upheaval around the world. Two families, from entirely different cultures, but possibly having one crucial connection, are caught up in the same deadly snare. Intensely personal at the family level and yet global in perspective, The Face in the Smaller Picture has the authentic feel of a historical novel while looking forward instead of backward. It is a story to be savoured for its drama and characterizations, and to be thought about for its politically unfettered view of our impact upon the planet.
